If scientists/Archeologists are right, and it's all evidence and logic, what's up with this?? Why cover things up, and these are real people who are veterans in the field of archeology......I bet no Atheist will answer, since they know their science is all BS in the end

Do your homework. Glenn Kuban debunked this load of crap long long ago. Micheal Cremo is a lying cheat who should be in jail for fraud. And you should be ashamed of yourself for believing this horsesh!t Cremo did not follow the scientific method and he is a Hindu Creationist.

Yes, all science is BS... that's why you're using a computer right now. Good argument.



But science is done by humans and humans aren't perfect. Some are deceitful and dishonest. The great thing about the scientific method, though, is that it's self correcting. Have mistakes been made in the past? Yes. Will mistakes be made in the future? Absolutely. But there is no learning without mistakes; it's nearly impossible to learn something without making mistakes.



So just as I don't judge every christian by a small percentage of crazy whackjobs who think the world is flat, 6000 years old, and created by a magical being, so should you not judge every scientist by the mistakes of a few.



Also, atheist doesn't require capitalization, just for future reference.

Atheists and science don't lie, they are telling the truth theists just don't want to hear. All religion is old, and at the time it was made to get understanding to how we thought the world worked. With the help of science, we know the world isn't flat, animals are not created and can all fit on a small boat and many more things get disproved every year. This is why we have atheists and the truth.

There *might* be reasons to question evolution and other scientific theories; however this video is not one of them. It's taken from a television show "The Mysterious Origins of Man" produced by NBC in 1996. It simply repeats material from Cremo & Thompson's book 'Forbidden Archaeology', published in 1993. The 'evidence' presented in that book has been examined by many scholars. They universally rejected it: not to hide something, but because the book contains many mistakes, errors, poor arguments and misunderstanding. The authors, no matter what their viewpoint, simply don't have deep enough technical knowledge to describe or interpret their material accurately.



The television program was not a serious attempt to discuss archaeology: it was simply entertainment. Hence using Charlton Heston as presenter (a career low-point for an otherwise great actor). It was produced by NBC to make a profit, by getting people to watch television - nothing more. The History Channel is full of this stuff, shamefully.



There is no vast conspiracy by scientists - or by atheists - to suppress important information. Science doesn't proceed by looking for agreement; on the contrary, science works by critically evaluating evidence, and pointing out defects in arguments. 'Forbidden Archaeology' has been evaluated, and found to be nonsense from cover to cover.



Keep looking for critiques of science, if you want. Science thrives on critical thinking. There's nothing, absolutely nothing in this video to raise any doubts about modern science.

I did not watch the video, but if you have a difficulty with science, you really need to address the religious people, as there are far more Christian, Hindu, Muslim scientists than total number of atheists.



Most Christians are not science deniers or anti education, the majority of people in predominantly Christian countries are well educated, understand at least some basic physics, biology, etc.



There are fringe elements of religious cultures that do reject knowledge, they are some Christians in north America and some Muslims in central Asia, but do not judge all religious people by the most primitive and least educated, most are better than that, and by better I mean better educated, better citizens, better people of faith, better in nearly all ways.

Ah, yes, archaeology for those who know nothing about archaeology and will believe any ridiculous lie they're fed.



I know your religious leaders love to fill you with lies about mainstream science and how it supposedly covers up the things that you think prove your beliefs, but the truth is that real archaeology can tell the difference between real anomalies and trumped up sensationalism fed to those who are too gullible to realize they're being lied to.

We will be honest with YOU if you are honest with us.

Your "faith" is strictly limited to things that have no consequence in your life.

If you get sick, or a family member falls and cracks their head open, you do not go to a priest.

You take them to a hospital and trust that the medical science, based in observation, theory and experimentation, will fix your problem.



You only turn your back on science when it suites your pleasure.



A little honestly on YOUR part woudl go a long way.
